This study examines the vowel-gradation/ablaut in Russian, i.e., the consistent changes of a root vowel within the structure of CVC, where occurs a series of changes of normal /e/ in the process of a qualitative or quantitative change, that is, according to the change of the normal vowel /e/, there occur many vowel-gradation/ablaut in Russian.: o-grade ( /e/ > /o/), e-grade (/ø/ or weak vowel /ь/ > /e/), zero-grade or reduced grade (by dropping a vowel > /ø/), or lengthened/long grade (quantitatively lengthening a vowel, /e/ > /ē/ or /ō/, so-called, lengthened/long e-grade and lengthened/long o-grade, respectively. The Russian ablaut provides grammatical information or linguistic characteristics, which is productive or at least marginally productive in Russian conjugation, aspectual minimal pairs, verbal or nominal derivation, etc., for cognate words. For example, cognate words have a series of vowel-gradation, which categorizes grammatical distinctions as follows: со-бр-а-ть (pf.) - со-бир-а-ть (impf.) ‘to collect’ - бер-у ‘I take’, бер-ёшь ‘you take’, бер-ут ‘they take’ - со-бор ‘synod’, с-бор ‘assembly’, etc. These cognates represent vowel-alternations of /ø/ ≈ /и/ ≈ /е/ ≈ /о/ with the distinction of grammatical information, such as perfective vs. imperfective, verbal vs. nominal, infinitive vs. conjugated form. Moreover, Russian vowel-gradation can apply to pedagogical use. Understanding a systematic vowel change, namely, ablaut, can help L2 learners of Russian maximize the effect of learning Russian cognate words with grammatical and linguistic information. From a perspective of pedagogy, the Russian ablaut informs L2 learners of a series of cognate words, which belong to another language group, such as Germanic or Italian group, etc. as well as Slavic group. For this reason, it is useful for L2 learners to understand the Russian ablaut.

First appeared for commercial purposes in the early 20th century, Russian posters developed into independent art through the First World War and the Bolshevik Revolution. The early 20th century was the most productive period for Russian Art, as various experiments were conducted in the coexistence and competition of various painting trends. Amid the turbulent conditions leading to the revolution, civil war, and establishment of the Soviet Union, the integration of various artists’ experiments with the revolution is reflected in the form and content of posters produced at the time. Viktor Deni, who is called the pioneer and classic of the Soviet poster, had a profound influence on later Soviet propaganda art and posters by embodying personal laughter, social humor and satire, and disgust based on his unique political insight and artistic imagination. Nevertheless, in Soviet poster exhibitions and related studies, Deni has been introduced as a fragment of the history of Soviet art and has not drawn much attention for the artistic value of his satirical posters because of their ideological aspect. Therefore, this study examines the meaning of the creative works of Deni, which were the basis of Soviet political posters during the formation and development of Russian posters in the revolutionary period, and clarifies the social function of his satire and the essence of propaganda art through the transformation of laughter revealed in his posters.

This article analyzes the musical motifs of Vladislav Khodasevich’s fourth poetry book The Heavy Lyre (1922) and reveals what role those motifs play in the collection’s composition and signification. The music-related poems that bookend the collection are clues that hint at the relationship between earthly sounds and heavenly music. In the collection’s first poem, “Music,” a heavenly ‘symphony’ is suggested as something that can be felt indirectly in daily life in the form of humor. Likewise, in “Elegy,” closer to the middle of the collection, the sounds of life and the music of the soul are settled in a hierarchy, and the sounds of life are both the result of uncertain senses and a condition of existence from which the poet cannot escape. In the final poem of the collection, “Ballad,” sounds of life recede into the background for the arrival of music. So while “Music” addresses the relationship between daily life and music, the conflict between the two is deepened in the middle of the collection, and then “Ballad” presents daily life as a niche in which music can emerge. An analysis of such roles in The Heavy Lyre will serve as the basis for studying the structure of the poet’s monumental collected works, Collection of Poems (1927).
